Colonia Court offers nursing, residential and dementia care, as well as having a dedicated unit for people living with Huntington’s disease. It can also offer a space for people to rest, relax and recover with short stays too. It could be a few weeks to experience living here, an advanced booking if you/ your loved ones are planning a holiday or break, a month while recovering from an operation or a more long-term move. Whatever the reason, their doors are open.
Situated in a pleasant, leafy suburb, Colonia Court offers residents a modern and purpose-built home surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens. Just a short bus ride away, the home is within easy access to Colchester. There are also shops nearby for residents to visit that are within walking distance.
It is important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence. Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients and try to cater for all ethnic groups. Soon after a resident arrives at Colonia Court, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.
There is a real sense of community at Colonia Court. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether your loved one already has a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in. From picnics in the garden and lunch clubs to pamper days and exercise groups, the home has a full social calendar.

I was not looking forward to my mum going into a care home at any time but found that as my mums dementia got worse, I could not cope. I looked around quite a few but found that Colonia Court was best for location. The staff are kind and nothing is too much trouble. My mum is well fed and usually looks clean and well cared for. She has put on weight since being there and seems quite content and is always happy. She likes to help a little at the home but the staff see that she doesn't overdo it or attempt something beyond her capabilities.
Thank you for your review. It is lovely to hear that your mum is happy and content and enjoys helping if she can, I'm sure this helps her to feel that she is looking after the other residents.

Having been badly treated by his previous care home, my dad was admitted to Colonia Court Care Home in October 2015. He has been treated with kindness and great care. All of his medical and mental health issues have been sorted out. He is happy to be in a clean, bright and pleasant room and very much enjoys the food he is given. The staff keep me well informed about his progress and are extremely helpful in every way.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate hearing from you and about your positive experiences with our home. I am so pleased he is happy and you're happy with Colonia Court and the care he is receiving. The Bupa Customer Care Team.
Very pleased with mum's care. All the carers and nurses are lovely to her and she always looks clean, tidy and well fed and content. Any illnesses are dealt with quickly by a lady that runs the dementia unit with enthusiasm and efficiency.

All the staff that we see are friendly, pleasant and caring. Residents are treated with respect and every effort is made to make them feel at ease. The only thing that could be improved is the entertainment although we realise that it is difficult and expensive.

Wonderful, caring staff in this specialist care home for Huntington's Disease. Standard of care is excellent. Staff are a good team - qualified and unqualified staff work together to promote a caring, calm, loving environment. It has a real family feeling and relatives are always included in care planning and always made welcome. Managerial staff are satisfactory but it is those on the coal face who are real heroes. I just wish they had greater recognition for working in this challenging environment.

Making the decision to move a loved one from their home to a care home is often distressing. We visited over 20 homes in S.E. England to find the right one for mum, seeing the beautiful gardens, bright modern interior and pretty en-suite bedrooms made BUPA's Colonia Court easily the best. Actually moving mum in has also been a pleasure thanks to the amazingly wonderful staff, from management, administration and carers nothing has been too much trouble. I cannot express enough my gratitude for the incredible support and kindness everyone has shown. Thanks to the staff, it took just a couple of hours for mum to happily settle in, and we can now return home to France knowing that we have done our very best for her, and that she is in the best place possible.
